Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hodgo]

so if we play people where they are keen to play our squad looks like
1 bula
2 skelton
3 olam
4 turva
5 ?????
6 lachie
7 Romey
8 Klemmer
9 API
10 may
11 s faniu
12????
13 bird

14 hunt
15 Seyfarth
16 pole
17 any of a number of players


Really only leaves a wing spot up and utility up for grabs.

6 out of the 17 players on a game day could be brothers… that would have to be some kind of record lol

Sounds like the berries/bulldogs back in the day.
Hughes & Mortimer brothers
They could all play 👍

^^ the roosters

no sir

the roosters said he is free to leave if a club was willing to take him at freight reported to be around 550 to 650

i believe our offer was
675 / 750 / 750 from listening to a few pod casts over the weekend

stefano signed with melbourne for 750 which peaks at 850


i did hear a sniff that sione was a smokey for the dragons

I said a few weeks ago I could see Dragons going for Sione. After coaching at manly Flanagan would know them well. Sure he’d also have no problems giving Latu a starting half’s spot in the future too. Anyways hopefully Sione is signed to avoid any future dramas

 

[Oldman]

The Mortimer & Hughes brothers at the Bulldogs did it back in the 80s

Very rare though.

Sorry Vlad
Read your post after posting the same.
Except for the youngest Mortimer (4th brother) all had great 1st grade careers.

On last year’s form, an upgrade over Stefano. However, can May do it as the leader of the pack without the same support he had at the Roosters? I’m keen to find out. Well done Tigers.

May , Klemmer to start
Hunt can give May a break if needed 12 out from half time
Pole can do same for Klemmer
May - Hunt - Klemmer - Pole , Twall. That’s not bad
Bird - Sam F - Pole - Seyfarth - Bateman. Not bad

 

[426Tlgerland]

Great news. Still need two centres and a back rower to replace Bateman.

Mays brother plays centre , he will come soon as court is over

As a 62 year old long suffering fan, a few years ago I promised myself that I'd stop getting all excited at a few off season signings. No matter how well I knew the names. Get all carried away in November, and be heartbroken again in May.
I absolutely promised myself I'd NEVER fall for the inevitable false hope again. Never.
50+ years bar one is too much for one man to be subjected to.
But seriously, how good do we look for next season ? 🤣

You are still young. Only 62. Dont hold it against yourself. Maybe you are in your prime.

In 10 weeks and 3 days, we have done well in the player market.

I'd argue that we of all clubs we've probably recruited the best.... Difficult to gauge cause all clubs requirements and needs are different

We'll done Richo Benji and Romey... Good signing.. Hope he stays outta trouble and becomes a leader... We need these guys from Penrith and the Roosters to make sure we raise the bar to their old clubs level.... Or as close as possible to it

Think you'll find Sione was here well before Flanagan got to Manly...

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Within the next 2 or 3 years

Standing by for the members email 👀

I'm sure we'll get something by the end of the week.

Maybe.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Hope the price stays the same.

I'm sure we'll get something by the end of the week.

Maybe.

I’ll be checking mine at 4pm everyday.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Top drawer signing very happy with that, on par with Stef but Stef dogged it last year.

Honestly i hope we find a spot for Sione, two fold keep the brothers together and i thought he earned an extension with his efforts last season.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But you are right Ink. I concur. Best signings off all the clubs. Lets hope it comes to fruition.

 

[weststigerman]

Fair chance those clubs have been advised he is signing elsewhere. Then those clubs get on front foot to save face.

Happy to say that I was wrong, and this is most likely what happened.

 

[SwervinMervin]

Pushing hard for Theresa for 2026 I'm hearing.

And Tim and Norman…

 

[weststigerman]

A front row rotation of Klemmer, May, Pole and Hunt is much better than anything we've had I think ever.

Thankyou Stef for walking away.

 

[SwervinMervin]

Yep. Standard play for them.

They will sign 4 SOO players with that. All on unders because they want to be part of the Roosters set up 😆

Be happy to be wrong again. Cause is it a fact that "this is the most likely what happened" ? - unless you have a source or an insider. No offence. Just its nice to keep it real.
